🩺 NSAIDs After Surgery (Aleve/Advil Use)

https://youtu.be/xC3MQGPn55M

Did you know that taking Aleve or Advil after surgery might slow your recovery?
While NSAIDs reduce inflammation, that same inflammation is part of your body’s natural healing process. Suppressing it can delay tissue and bone repair — and increase bleeding risk.
✅ Better options: Acetaminophen (Tylenol), ice, elevation, and guided physical therapy.
Always check with your surgeon or therapist before taking over-the-counter meds after surgery!
